Richard Stallman's warning that cloud computing is a trap resurfaces

Original: Cloud computing is a trap, warns GNU founder Richard Stallman (2008)

Richard Stallman, founder of the GNU project, warned in a 2008 Guardian interview that cloud computing is a trap, arguing that handing data and programs to companies' servers leaves users vulnerable. His remarks, made as Google and Microsoft pushed cloud services, are being circulated and debated again by readers weighing their accuracy years later.

Why now: The 2008 warning is being revisited as concerns over reliance on Big Tech cloud services have grown.
